About us
Talana was founded in Brisbane Australia in 2009 by Beate and Gino Nicolella, a couple who had lived and worked in Africa for many years. They were passionate about sustainable tourism and respecting the culture, heritage and environment of the places they visited. They also saw how tourism could create opportunities for local artisans to showcase their skills and sell their products to travelers.
